J Swinscoe, the founder of The Cinematic Orchestra, began his musical journey in 1990 with a group called Crabladder. After releasing a single on his own label, Power Tool, he gained recognition as a DJ on Heart FM. In 1999, their debut album Motion garnered critical acclaim and led to an invitation to perform at the Director's Guild Awards ceremony for Stanley Kubrick. They were later commissioned to create a live score for Man with a Movie Camera and released it as an album. Their discography also includes Ma Fleur and the soundtrack for The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos. In 2010, they established their independent label Motion Audio.

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

"a film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction." - stanley kubrick. jason swinscoe of the cinematic orchestra has long been intrigued by the link between vision and sound. from the cinematic orchestra 's re-soundtracking of man with a movie camera, through his 'soundtrack to an imaginary film,' ma fleur, to his band's name itself, swinscoe has continued to pick away at the issues and emotions found at this intersection. with 'in motion #1' he continues this process by inviting some of his favourite musicians and producers to provide soundtracks to or musical re-imaginings of seminal work by great avant-garde film-makers. responding to visuals which run from ren clair's surrealist classic 'entr'acte' (the cinematic orchestra) right up to peter tscherkassky's 'outer space' (dorian concept and tom chant), the musicians wrote for and worked with a string quartet to create music of remarkable emotional reach. the results are so vivid, so complex yet immediate, that they can be enjoyed as freestanding pieces in their own right. the first of a series of releases curated by jason swinscoe for motion audio, the artists involved run from la-based pianist austin peralta, through the grey reverend in new york, to dorian concept in austria and tom chant and the other members of the cinematic orchestra in london.
